famous person

Selena Quintanilla-Pérez aslos known as Selena, was born on April 16, 1971 and died on March 31, 1995.  She is one of the if not the most famous latino singer/songwriter. "She was named the "top Latin artist of the '90s" and "Best selling Latin artist of the decade" by Billboard, had fourteen top ten singles in the Top Latin Songs chart, including seven number-one hits."  Basically she was the Latino Madonna. Her untimely death was compared to that of Elvis' and placed her forever in time. I chose Selena because her contribution paved a way for countless other young latino women wishing to follow their dreams.
